Interesting ... I've had some Meritage wines from Niagara peninsula where the Cab Franc really shows but I'll let you know after I taste a few this weekend if the 07 vintage was weakish....

HondaJohn reviewed Gundlach Bundschu Zinfandel 2007. (2.5/5)
On Nov 6

Not sure why but this wine didn’t appeal to me. It’s not bad but I guess just not my style. Plum and cherry on the nose with flavors with raspberry jam and some spice.

Gundlach Bundschu Zinfandel 2007

Starting at $38.00 Snoothrank: 3.5/5

Gundlach Bundschu Winery Vintage Reserve 2006

Starting at $80.00 Snoothrank: 4/5

HondaJohn reviewed Gundlach Bundschu Syrah Estate Vineyard 2006. (2.5/5)
